Hello,
I have a pdns authoritative server in production. It is version 4.9.9
running on Devuan Daedalus (Debian Bookworm without systemd). It was
installed via the powerdns repo. All seems to be working well and will
list all zones normally. when I try do something as simple in the api as
an export zone I get a 500 error.
When I run
|curl -v -H "X-API-Key: <my api key>"|
|http://localhost:8443/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones|
<http://localhost:8443/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones/xyonethost.com/export>
||jq .|
|I get a list of zones.
|
when I run:
|curl -v -H "X-API-Key: <my api key>"|
|http://localhost:8443/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones/xyonethost.com/export|
<http://localhost:8443/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones/xyonethost.com/export>
||jq .|
I get a 500 error when I try to run that. I check the syslog and I get:

root@sirius:/etc/powerdns/pdns.d# pdnsutil check-zone xyonethost.com
<http://xyonethost.com>
Checked 18 records of 'xyonethost.com', 0 errors, 0 warnings.
This seems to be a bug. I have gone into the database and enclosed the
txt record in quotes and that did nothing.
root@sirius:/etc/powerdns/pdns.d# dig txt default._domainkey.xyonethost.com u/localhost +short
returns

|the string in the database has no spaces or returns in it. Have I come
across a bug or am I missing something stupid?|
